A/N: it's happening!


The movie part was uneventful, we sat apart, obviously. Her toy boy stared at me the whole time, but she didn't even glance. Not until the scene where my character was dying. Yeah, I die in this. I kinda cried, not gonna lie.

Now I'm on my way to the after party. Show time, bitches!

I entered through the back door, so no one could bother me.
My band is here already and everybody greets me with a hug. I have to say, I love these people! They're like family. I missed them a lot, but since the break up and me moving back to America we had a lot of time to catch up.

"This is it, baby. Are you nervous?" asks Vicky, the bass player.

"Kinda, yeah. But it's normal, nothing can stop me from doing this."

"Is she here?" Lisa holds me by the waist.

"Yeah and the thing came with her." I drink a sip of water to help my voice.

"Well, babe, he's gonna disappear after tonight, I'm telling you." Bonnie is always wild. We all laugh and do our ritual before going up to the stage.

The MC introduces us and everybody's cheering. Poor people. They don't know what's coming.

Guitar's plugged. I'm looking good. Voice is on point. It's time to kill.

"Good evening, my people! I know you're probably tired of my face, but I couldn't turn down the invitation to entertain you guys tonight."

"WE COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF YOU!" Someone screams in the crowd and we all laugh.

"Y'all are probably sick, let me tell." Everybody's laughing again. I should be a comedian.

"So, the first song belongs to one of my idols and friends, John Mayer. Enjoy!"

The light is on me now and I start playing the first notes and the band follows me.

"It's not a silly little moment

It's not the storm before the calm

This is the deep and dying breath of

This love that we've been working on..."

I close my eyes. I know this song like I know myself. So it's easier for me to play with my eyes closed. I can feel the song deeper.

"Can't seem to hold you like I want to

So I can feel you in my arms

Nobody's gonna come and save you

We pulled too many false alarms

We're going down

And you can see it too

We're going down

And you know that we're doomed

My dear

We're slow dancing in a burning room"

People are swaying to the rhythm, most of them singing. It's definitely a vibe. But the one I'm looking for is nowhere to be found.

"I was the one you always dreamed of

You were the one I tried to draw

How dare you say it's nothing to me?

Baby, you're the only light I ever saw... "
